💕✨Double Essence Toner✨💕
⚡️Rating 2.5/5
💸$30 for 150mL/5oz
🧪Key Ingredients: Madecassoside, Milk Protein, Beta-Glucan, Ceramides, Panthenol
💅🏼Contains a water-based layer and a creamy layer that protects the skin barrier and soothes skin
💅🏼Claims to lock in moisture to skin and is anti-aging 
💅🏼Beta-Glucan and Milk Protein helps with skin radiance, re-texturization,and hydration of skin 
💅🏼You can see the separation with the dual layers, the creamy layer is pink and the water layer is clear
💅🏼It’s required that you shake the toner every time you use it to make a 🍓“strawberry milk”🥛 toner 
💅🏼I felt that having to shake the toner every time was a bit annoying because sometimes I forgot and wasted product
⚠️STRONG FRAGRANCE-this has a very heavy scent that smells like your grandma’s rose hand soap. I can imagine this causing many problems with sensitive skin
⚠️Contains alcohol
💅🏼Although this toner contains said-to-be great ingredients, the potent fragrance and alcohol makes me question how this is considered a hydrating and calming toner?
💅🏼The toner felt greasy upon application and made it feel like I had 5+ layers of product
💅🏼It made layering my normal serums and moisturizer very unpleasant because it felt like I was slugging
💅🏼I’m very grateful to try this toner for free, but unfortunately this toner was not for me-especially if I had to spend $30 with my experience


💖✨ MadeCera Cream ✨💖
⚡️Rating 4/5
💸$36 for 50mL/1.69oz
🧪Key Ingredients: Madecassoside, Niacinamide, Ceramide Ferment Complex, Betaine, Adenosine, Asiatic Acid
🎀 Claims to be an anti-aging, brightening, and strengthening moisturizer
🎀Supposed to repair and soothe skin barrier-especially for acne redness 
🎀Madecassoside is a compound of Centella Asiatica, thus is inflammation fighting 
🎀Niacinamide aids in brightening, Adenosine delivers anti-aging and skin smoothing benefits, Ceramides help hydrate and plump skin
⚠️Fragrance-also has a rose scent but it’s not as pungent as the toner and seems to fade within 5 minutes
⚠️Contains multiple alcohol ingredients 
🎀Compared to the toner, this product is much more pleasant
🎀The cream looks thick when squeezed out, but it’s fairly lightweight and almost like a gel cream
🎀Does not feel greasy or pill up previous layers of my toner/essence/serums
🎀My skin really felt hydrated and dewy after the application so I think this moisturizer will help my skin during the Winter
🎀My skin is oily-combination and resilient so I did not experience any irritation, but for those with sensitive skin I suggest to be wary if you purchase this set

💦🧪The Potions Deep Hydration Trio🧪💦

⚠️I was accidentally given a duplicate of the Jojoba Oil Serum instead of Peptide Serum, but I will include company’s claimed benefits still⚠️
💄Follow @sassandskincare on IG 💄


💙✨Hyaluronic Acid Serum✨💙
⚡️Rating 3.5/5
💧Found this to be a basic hyaluronic acid that helped hydrate my skin like all HA serums
💧A thick serum that felt tacky when applying but dried out evenly without any stickiness
💧Absorbed well into my skin with only 3 drops 
💧Reinforces skin’s moisture barrier
💧Kept my normal skincare routine and added HA drops —> The next morning I found that some of my skincare pilled up—this only happened with the HA serum and not the Jojoba 
💧Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and cruelty-free


💛✨ Jojoba Oil Serum✨💛
⚡️Rating 5/5
🌰100% Jojoba oil to deeply hydrate 
🌰Rich in tocopherols to balance oil and sebum production
🌰I was surprised that as an oil serum this didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy
🌰Felt quite nourishing with just 3 drops and instantly felt my skin was smooth
🌰Gives a nice dewy glow and not sticky
🌰Did not cause excess oil production 
🌰Really happy I actually got 2 of these by mistake- will be perfect to nourish and prevent my skin from drying due to the Winter Cold ❄️
🌰Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and cruelty-free


💜✨Peptide Serum ✨💜
❌Did not receive this serum as an error - Below are Website Claims❌
🧬Claims to promote production of collagen and reduce fine lines
🧬Helps revitalize uneven and aging skin  
🧬Good for sensitive skin
🧬Soothes and nourishes exhausted and irritated skin

💦💣Belif Aqua Bomb Moisturizer and Cleanser Duo Set 💣💦

💄Follow @sassandskincare on IG💄
💸 Purchased for $50 at Costco USA-Not Sponsored 💸

💧✨Aqua Bomb True Cream✨💧
⚡️Rating 5/5
🐳”A cushiony cream that provides dull, flaky skin with an explosion of comforting moisture, leaving it feeling supple, smooth, and deeply nourished”
🐳2.5oz bottle vs $38 for 1.7oz
🐳Clinically tested to increase hydration of the skin by 70%
🐳No mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, synthetic organic dyes
🐳Felt very refreshing and lightweight as a gel cream, but gave the hydration boost similar to a thick cream
🐳Noticed a brightening effect to my skin as it was more hydrated
🐳Boosted hydration did not cause more oiliness to my combination skin


💧✨ Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser ✨💧
⚡️Rating 4/5
🐬”A gentle jelly-to-foam cleanser that gently removes all traces of makeup and impurities without stripping the skin of moisture”
🐬Glycerin based and contains gentle cleansing agents to hydrate the skin while cleansing
🐬Does not remove all sunscreen/makeup in first cleanse
🐬However, a great cleanser to use for the second step in your double cleanse
🐬A small amount will foam a lot and give you a proper cleanse! Definitely preserves the longevity with the size of the product
🐬A true gentle cleanser left my skin feeling refreshed and never left it feeling tight/stripped


💦 Overall the Belif Moisturizer and Cleanser are worth your money
💦This set saves you a lot and gives you the best value! Costco for the win! 
💦Even with the normal sizes for these products it’s worth to invest in because it helps hydrate your skin without feeling overwhelmed with a thick cream and excess oil production

🍊✨ 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐉𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐦✨🍊
💸 $40 for 30mL/1oz
⚡️ Rating 4.5/5

🗓  It's been 9years since @klairs.global released the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drops and it's big news that they've come out with a serum! 🎉

✏️ Claims ✏️
📝 “This Vitamin C Serum contains 10% 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C derivative) and Niacinamide which are powerful ingredients that improve overall skin tone and pigmentation (melasma, blemish, freckles) and brighten and boost radiance.”

🧪 Special Ingredients 🧪
🕊 Vitamin C, E, B2, B5 and Niacinamide

🧃✨ My Experience ✨🧃
🍊 I definitely like this version better than the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drops! 
🍊 First off, the packaging comes in a pump & is not in a clear glass bottle like the Drops, which preserves the stability of the Vitamin C
🍊 The texture is a lightweight serum that absorbs fast & leaves a dewy finish
🍊 I also noticed that this version didn’t irritate my skin & helped with my oiliness from the niacinamide. Whereas the Vitamin Drops stung & caused redness on my cheeks 
🍊 My skin’s texture looks a lot brighter, but my PIH is taking time to fade. I’m giving this more time & I see a lot of potential

🌟 Overall, I’ve noticed a lot of Vitamin C serums in the higher price range. I’m so-so with the $40 price tag because I think the improvement with the tightly sealed packaging will maintain the Vitamin C’s stability. I also trust K-beauty Vitamin C formulas more because they factor in skin barrier maintenance vs Western skincare (not all) that can be very irritating with high concentrations of active ingredients

Gave me an amazing glow and helped lighten my hyperpigmentation. Also reduced the excess oil in my combination skin

$5 for a lip balm with SPF20! There’s a variety of colors that have a sheer shine and can be very pigmented with multiple layers. Also have amazing smells to each flavor.

Has a slight scent but not bothering to the skin.

Love love love this serum. It has a light scent, but it’s not irritating to my skin. It’s a great size too compared to other serums that are the same price. I typically use this as my base layer serum and it definitely does calm my skin with redness. Got the whole set and couldn’t be happier with this green tea line.
